Rotavapor® R-220 Pro & R-250 Pro – Industrial Rotary Evaporators

The Rotavapor® R-220 Pro and R-250 Pro by BÜCHI Labortechnik AG are industrial-grade rotary evaporators engineered for efficient and safe large-scale solvent evaporation. Their modular design, advanced automation, and robust construction make them ideal for pharmaceutical, chemical, and research applications.

Key Benefits

✅ High Performance & Scalability
Evaporating flasks from 10 to 50 liters allow batch sizes up to 30 L. Distillation rates up to 30 L/h (acetone).

✅ Enhanced Safety
Plastic-coated glass (P+G), safety valves, overtemperature sensors, and automatic bath lowering ensure operator protection.

✅ Modern, Automated Operation
8.7" touchscreen, integrated vacuum control, dynamic distillation with solvent library, remote control via BUCHI app (iOS/Android/Windows).

✅ Durability and Reliability
Constructed with corrosion-resistant stainless steel (AISI 304/316L) and borosilicate glass 3.3. Designed for continuous 24/7 operation.

Typical Applications

• Pharmaceutical production – concentration and solvent removal
• Organic synthesis – evaporation of large reagent batches
• Chemical manufacturing – solvent recovery and recycling
• Natural extraction – concentration of plant-based extracts
• Preparative chromatography – distillation of collected fractions
